Student Information System (SIS)


NOVA is a web-based Student Information System (SIS) — the repository for all your school data. The user-friendly interface and functionality brings your school data into the light. Keep track of the families who go to your school with a unique method of relating parents and students, easily managing the complexities of modern blended families.

We have owned and operated our own schools and colleges for over 25 years, making our background EDUCATION. NOVA is a tool developed by SCHOOL people, not TECH people — and you will quickly see the difference.

Use NOVA’s bulk communication tools to communicate with your school body quickly and easily. Text or email all active families instantly with our Bulk Text and Bulk Email features. Set up drip email+text campaigns using NOVA Campaigns. Easily communicate with parents of a single class or all classes, or with all recruits for the upcoming school year.

Parent records


Use NOVA to accurately track your complex family data. Many families today are not the traditional two parents + multiple children setup. NOVA will help you to track your families correctly, while giving the correct access to information to the correct people.

No more hunting through inboxes or paper files to remember your last conversation. Keep all of your communication history with parents in one place. NOVA tracks your email, text message and in-person communication, making it easy to pick up where you left off with the families who attended your school.

Use NOVA to create fully digital student records with our intuitive and easy-to-use online forms and online document storage. Everything is searchable and accessible with just a few clicks.

Forms and docs are saved to the parent record for easy access and use.

Send and receive forms from parents for all aspects of the school experience. Text or email all active families instantly with our Bulk Text and Bulk Email features. Set up drip email+text campaigns using NOVA Campaigns. Easily communicate with parents of a single class or all classes, or with all recruits for the upcoming school year.

Donor management


Donor management software can come at a high price tag — but it doesn’t have to be that way. NOVA includes a complete donation management system. Campaign management and tracking, targets and YTD summaries, campaign reporting, donation receipts and relationship tracking — it’s all included! We can help you get off of your current expensive and bloated donor management system and into NOVA Donor Management.

NOVA software has been a pivotal part of our success. In just two years we have doubled the student enrolment at our school, and a large part of that success is the effectiveness of the NOVA software and their customized marketing consulting. The whole team at NOVA has been easy to work with, it really feels like we are part of a team! I truly feel that the entire team cares about the success of our school and know we are not just another number. If you are looking to create better relationships with leads, grow your enrolment, and use data to make more efficient decisions, I highly recommend NOVA to support your goals.

Our school has been working with NOVA since November 2021. Throughout the process the NOVA team have been professional and efficient in all their correspondence and initial training. NOVA provided ample training and was available to answer all the questions we asked. Within a few weeks, we started to receive inquiries and are in correspondence with families whom we wouldn’t have otherwise had contact with. We’re looking forward to engaging these families further and hope to see them enroll at DCHS soon!

We have partnered with NOVA for this past year — one we hope to continue well into the future. NOVA has been a pleasure to work with. They have effectively walked with us to help create quality event advertisements and increase the reach of our school. They have been easy to work with: communicative, responsive and professional. The NOVA software has allowed us to efficiently organize, track and communicate with the leads that we’ve been able to generate. We would highly recommend their services to other organizations that are interested in improving their reach and market share.
